But of course June 2nd, 2007. The first night was also fantastic but there was something so magical about night 2, maybe it was the fact that they had to come back out again after the last encore to finish rebellion(lies) because the crowd would not stop singing it, never seen that before, ever.

It is with hesitation that I approve this thread. I wish I could see the light and be cool like you guys. From what I hear, the live show will change my mind

For some reason, I cannot shake this image I have of them being creepy religious creepos who are uber religious and kinda creepy

I just realized why you don't like the Arcade Fire.

You are confusing them with these guys...

EDIT: With that being said, I would be very surprised if Salah was not a Polyphinic Spree fan.

Certainly, they're very interested in religion, but I've been an Arcade Fire nerd for years now, I'm not even sure what religion any of them are, if any. The icons and stage gear and everything, that's just... I want to say "part of the act", but that sounds pantomime-y, which it isn't. What I mean is, that stuff kind of sets the scene. The lights, the drums, the preacher stuff, it's a conscious performer thing, they don't dress like that when they aren't on stage or anything.

I mean, The Arcade Fire's Win Butler:

And regular old Win Butler off stage:

are very different guys.

The actual girls and boys are entirely normal, functioning, 21st century girls and boys, really.

I actually haven't heard their latest album (this thread reminded me to download it) but their first two albums are awesome. Its just realyly fun, really happy music. I heard their third album is kind of dark though. Also, I have heard nothing but excellent things about their live show. I am dying to see them.

Because they make some of the happiest fucking music I have ever heard.

I dare you to watch the entire video and tell me you don't have a smile on your face.

I should probably point out at this point that I'm an extremely hostile atheist. If somebody handed me a button to launch all religion on earth into the surface of the damn sun, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

But if I thought for one second any of that shit was for real for Arcade Fire, I'd be over in the Muse thread. That's it for Neon Bible, I don't think #3 is gonna cover the same turf...
